How we handle bath repair in Bourton-on-the-Hill

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Bourton-on-the-Hill

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Common questions in Bourton-on-the-Hill

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Bourton-on-the-Hill?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GL56 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Bourton-on-the-Hill

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bourton-on-the-Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
